Adaptive filters enable prediction, noise cancellation, and echo removal

Evidence

An adaptive filter can be formulated to predict future values of the input signal by minimizing the prediction error. This is close to the idea of linear prediction, as described above. … Adaptive filtering can also be used to cancel noise in a signal, thus enhancing signal quality. An important subproblem is echo cancellation (Sondhi et al., 1995), where an echo in a system, acoustic or electronic, is attenuated. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 442
